Basel will host Servette at St. Jakob-Park on Sunday (February 19) in the Swiss Super League.
The hosts have had a rather difficult league campaign but remain hopeful of securing European football. Basel returned to winning ways in the Super League last weekend with a 3-1 comeback win over Sion before suffering a 1-0 defeat to Trabzonspor in their UEFA Europa Conference League playoff in midweek. Basel are sixth in the league table with 25 points from 20 games.
Servette, meanwhile, have performed well in the league this season and are now targeting a return to the European stage. They endured a sluggish return to action after the winter break but have now bounced back, recently picking up a 2-1 win at Winterthur, featuring goals from Miroslav Stevanovic and Theo Valls.
The visitors are second in the standings with 32 points from 20 games. They are 13 points behind Young Boys at the top of the pile.
